Ok, so I told you I’d be around a little more, perhaps writing a little more often. I lied. The Household What Rules is pulling up stakes and moving back into Seattle proper, where culture lives. Also, where about 80% of our friends live so we can have lives again. Also, we won’t be spending… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #107 – Moving the Household What Rules
Wow! Life has been nuts. Some good, some bad. Last Wednesday we had to put the Elderly Cat to sleep. Ronin was 14, and when he started exhibiting the symptoms of kidney disease we did what we could to make him comfortable and then took him in once he wasn’t. After going through heroic measures… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #106 – Sorry about the radio silence there.
I was stuck at home with the plague, so you guys get half an hour of me rambling. Enjoy! There will be two interviews, one with Emily Care Boss and one with Meguey Baker, coming up. And THEN perhaps I can address the Nerd clutter syndrome in another podcast.
Ok, I don’t know if it’s like this for all geeks, but damn we have a lot of crap. A LOT of crap. We’ve been going through boxes and closets, and trying to divest ourselves of a good chunk of it. I don’t know if all geeks are packrats like this, but an awful lot… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #105 – Man, I have a lot of stuff.
And here I was thinking, “Wow, Marvel and Joe Quesada haven’t done anything to spike my blood presure in weeks!” Ahem. Ok, only the Emma Frost costume looks anything like an actual costume worn by any of the characters. I have totally seen Emma Frost wearing that. Aside from that, FAIL!!!!!!! Are we supposed to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Flash Update Part the second.
I’ve been blogging over at the California Chapter of NOW’s blog for a while, which explains some of the slowdown over here. And today I did something for them that is equally germane to this blog, but I’m not going to repost it in its entirety, so go there and read it. Essentially, enough… Read More Geek Girls Rule – Flash Update
Ok, so I just posted, but I’m so excited!!! For years, because of a conversation between Deborah Donoghue and Ogre, we’ve been joking about running Amber Family Therapy. This year, I’m doing it! And I just got my player list. This is going to be amazing!!! I have so many excellent gamers involved!!! Holy crap,… Read More AmberCon NW!
Occasionally, not often, but occasionally, I get trolls here. When I do, on those rare occasions, unless they’ve said something actionable in a court of law, I leave them up. I mean, I can’t possibly make them look any dumber than they have themselves. And really, I’m hoping to inspire them to great heights (or… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #104 – Trolly Trolly Troll Troll.
I almost titled this one “Wil Wheaton is Smoking Crack” but I thought that might be a little over the top. I follow Wil Wheaton’s twitter, and while he didn’t say Scribblenauts was bad, he said it was a rent-er not a buy-er, or words to that affect. Which made me sad. I thought the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #103 – Scribblenauts
Oh for the love of little green apples… I first heard about this from Hoyden about Town. Essentially, villian Chameleon impersonates Peter Parker and sleeps with Peter’s room-mate. When people start to point out to the writer that this constitutes rape, his response is: “My understanding of the definition of rape is that it requires… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #102 – Really, Marvel?
